Design

State-of-the-art design

Designed and built by John Deere

Certified to the highest safety standards in the industry

Fingertip controls and an automotive-like fit and finish

Operators are sure to appreciate what this cab has to offer – beginning with an isolated cab. These cabs are designed with robust mounting points integrated into the rollover protective structure (ROPS) with a unique offset mounting design that provides an ultra-quiet ride.

A 4-post ROPS design, carefully laid-out interior, and fuel tank located under the left rear side of the operator's platform provide a full 360 degrees of visibility:

Operators will enjoy a commanding view no matter what task is being performed.

The raised header bar design allows operators – whether short or tall – to see the loader bucket or pallet forks through virtually the full range of operation.

Operator fatigue caused by awkward bending is reduced, leading to an increase in overall productivity.

The slow-moving vehicle (SMV) sign can be easily removed and stored in the operator's manual holder to provide a clear and unobstructed view for attaching to implements and doing field work.

Ample headroom and curved glass on all four sides provide a spacious interior and give operators the feel of a large-tractor cab.

Operators are well-protected from the elements with a high-performance climate-control system providing heating and air conditioning.

The climate-control system makes any task more enjoyable whether on a frigid winter day or a hot summer day.

The cab is tightly sealed to help reduce exposure to dust and allergens.

Seat is adjustable fore and aft for the operator's height, using the lever located under the seat.

Retractable seat belts prevent the belts from becoming tangled in the seat suspension and controls.

Optional air-suspension seat is available.

4066R Deluxe air-suspension seat

Air-suspension seat

An air-ride seat is standard on the 4066R Cab Tractor and is available as an option on the 4044R and 4052R Cab models. This seat is designed to provide an air cushion for vertical-seat travel which provides maximum operator comfort in any terrain.

The deluxe air-ride seat is a field-installed option on the 4044R and 4052R Cab Tractor.

Seat features:

Push the button at the base of the seat to pump up the seat. Pull the button to deflate the seat.

The seat slides fore-aft with a lever on the right-hand side of the seat.

The seat back reclines with the lever in the lower-left corner of the seat cushion.

The optional field-installed air-suspension kit requires the existing standard seat to be reused when installed.

NOTE: The deluxe two-piece seat top may be ordered through Parts.

Key benefits include:

Maximum-ride comfort and quality, thus minimizing operator fatigue

Dampens lower frequency vibration better than mechanical suspensions

Increased operator weight capacity of 330 lb

Closeout boot for enhanced appearance

Lighting equipment

The base lighting package for cab tractors includes:

Two wide-angle halogen headlights

Two roof-mounted, adjustable halogen forward work lights, which illuminate the work area in low-light conditions

Two roof-mounted, adjustable halogen rear work lights, which illuminate the work area in low-light conditions (4066R Deluxe Cab models only)

Two front and two rear amber turn signals/warning lights integrated into the cab roof

Two taillights integrated into the fenders

Three-position (on/off/auto) interior dome light

Operator station is comfortable and convenient

Easy entry and exit from the operator's station

The operator's station is designed for easy entry and exit from the tractor.

Conveniently placed brake pedals, as well as repositioned operator controls, provide for a clean and flat platform design giving the operator plenty of legroom.

Hood and fenders are made from composite polymer material designed to eliminate the possibility of rusting and resistance to dents that can occur with metal hoods and fenders. This material provides a high-luster appearance with excellent resilience and resistance to fading from sunlight.

A left-side step is in base equipment to enhance access to the operator's station

Adjustable scissor-type suspension seat

Swivel seat adjustment (1) with armrests, in base equipment on all 4R open station tractors, to decrease operator fatigue when operating rear driven implements. Seat swivels 15 degrees in either direction. Also provides convenience and comfort while entering and exiting the tractor.

Air suspension seat optional for the 4R Series Tractors.

Air suspension not compatible with swivel function.

The scissor-type suspension seat gives the operator a comfortable ride. The seat flips forward for protection from the elements.

NOTE: Always refer to the operator’s manual for complete maintenance and service recommendations.

Save fuel, reduce noise, and increase engine life with the economy power take-off (PTO)

The optional field-installed 540/540 economy power take-off (PTO) allows operators to select the engine rpm needed for their PTO application. The economy position provides 540 rpm to the PTO at approximately 70 percent of the engine's normal rated speed. The engine runs at a rated speed of approximately 1750 rpm in the 540 economy position. The 540 economy is ideal for any PTO application, from running a mower to a baler or a cutter, where full horsepower is not needed. Operating at lower engine rpm decreases fuel costs during tasks. The overall operating experience improves because there is less noise and vibration for the operator.

A conveniently located lever (behind the seat of the tractor) allows the operator to simply change between 540 and 540E when conditions merit the opportunity to save fuel without affecting performance. For heavy-duty operations that require maximum PTO power, the PTO shift lever is placed in the 540 position, the PTO engaged, and the engine is run at rated speed of 2400 rpm. This selection gives 540 rpm to the PTO shaft and delivers the full-advertised horsepower at rated engine speed.

The 540/540 economy PTO offers all the features of the standard 540-rpm PTO, and the safety interlock is a foolproof measure provided to compensate for operator oversight. When the tractor is in economy, the engine is limited to a lower operating speed, preventing accidental over speeding of PTO implements and protecting against binding the PTO shaft. The safety interlock also prevents accidental shifting of the PTO selector lever at higher engine speeds than the economy PTO setting, which would lead to downtime to fix implements or drivetrains.

Built-in safety features for operator peace of mind

Safety is designed into all 4M and 4R Series Tractors.

Operator presence system ensures the operator is in the seat to run the tractor

If the operator leaves the seat when front or rear power take-off (PTO) is engaged, the engine shuts down.

For stationary PTO work, the tractor must be in neutral and the park brake fully set.

The rollover protective structure (ROPS) is designed for operation safety

Reflective ROPS strips for better tractor visibility

Key switch interlock prevents bypass starting

Visual PTO warning light alerts operator when rear PTO is running

Placing the transmission in neutral and setting the park brake allows operator to run rear PTO safely when off the tractor seat

Key John Deere advantage

Some competitive hydrostatic tractors use a treadle pedal (toe-heel) design foot control for operation of the hydro

Requires the operator to use both toe and heel to change direction, resulting in increased operator fatigue

Integrated eHydro features

The eHydro convenience controls have been integrated into a single module. Combining features such as SpeedMatch™ LoadMatch™, MotionMatch™ eThrottle™ and automotive style cruise control pulls the maximum efficiency out of the eHydro transmission tractors. All of these features are standard on the 4R models, and deliver customers an easier and more comfortable experience.

eHydro convenience control module

Press button to active/deactivate eThrottle. When eThrottle is activated, depression of the travel pedal increases engine RPM and tractor speed.

Press button to active/deactivate LoadMatch. When LoadMatch is activated, engine will not stall during heavy load applications.

Press button to activate/deactivate SpeedMatch. When SpeedMatch is activated, operator is able to set the desired maximum travel speed.

Press button to activate/deactivate cruise control. When cruise control is activated, operator is able to set cruise speed.

Press button to set cruise speed, or to decrease cruise/set max speed.

Press button to resume set cruise speed, or to increase cruise/set max speed.

MotionMatch - shorter accelerate and decelerate distances.

eThrottle

eThrottle indicator

Press a button to activate/deactivate eThrottle™. When eThrottle is activated, depression of travel pedal increases engine rpm and tractor speed simultaneously. This provides the operator with comfort and convenience as well as fuel economy.

Automotive-style cruise control

Cruise control indicator

An automotive-style cruise control is standard equipment on the 4R Series Tractors. Cruise control is electronically engaged and disengaged and is located on the right-hand operator console.

Maintains desired forward speed without pressure on the foot pedal

When activated, the operator is able to set cruise speed

Use the SET/- button to set cruise speed, or to decrease cruise/max speed

Use the RES/+ button to set cruise speed, or to increase cruise/max speed

A speed sensor also allows the tractor to maintain preset speed driving up and down hills

To disengage the cruise control, either:

Apply pressure to the brakes

Disengage cruise control button

Briefly depress the reverse travel pedal

LoadMatch™ power management system

LoadMatch indicator

LoadMatch is a standard feature on the 4R Series Tractors.

If torque requirements increase significantly, the transmission will reduce the tractor's drive speed to compensate for the increased load on the transmission, maximizing torque to drive wheels and minimizing stalls.

While typically left on, LoadMatch can be turned off with the right-hand console controls.

MotionMatch™

The MotionMatch, standard on the 4R Series Tractors, is located on the right-hand console. It offers seven settings for adjusting the rollout or decelerating when the pedal is released.

MotionMatch indicator

Longer accelerate and decelerate distances.

MotionMatch indicator

Shorter accelerate and decelerate distances.

SpeedMatch™

SpeedMatch indicator

SpeedMatch, standard on the 4R Series Tractors, further enhances the eHydro cruise control functions by allowing the operator to preset maximum speed. Once this feature is engaged, the operator must stroke the travel pedal fully to meet the operator’s preset speed and press the Set button to lock the speed. From there, the operator can use the automotive-style cruise controls to adjust speed. This function will improve accuracy and safety, particularly at lower travel speed applications.

Rotary tilling or spraying applications are examples of where SpeedMatch can be applied. SpeedMatch will work in both the forward and reverse set speeds.

NOTE: Automotive-style cruise control and SpeedMatch can be used in conjunction with LoadMatch to maximize productivity.

The engine uses the latest technologies to optimize fuel economy, improve control and accuracy, and reduce environmental impact.

The common rail system (CRS) optimizes fuel economy and reduces operating costs*. High-pressure injection atomizes fuel into finer particles which burn more completely. It results in improved fuel economy and lower cost of operation.

The electronic control unit (ECU) provides optimum fuel control and accuracy. ECU monitors and controls the engine. It continuously monitors engine conditions and adjusts the fuel delivery accordingly to ensure optimum performance and emissions.

The new engine comes with an after treatment system. The system operates automatically. The exhaust filter consists of a diesel particulate filter (DPF) which captures particulate matter (PM) contained in the exhaust gas. Using a natural cleaning process, most of the PM trapped in the exhaust filter is eliminated by the heat of the exhaust stream generated by normal use. In situations of low temperature, engine speed or load factor, an active cleaning cycle is initiated. In this cleaning cycle, the exhaust gas temperature is raised by injecting additional fuel during the exhaust stroke of normal vehicle operation to the diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC).

After many hours of use, the exhaust filter may require an ash removal service.

NOTE: *As compared to engines not using CRS technology.

DPF cleaning

Depending on the load that the tractor is under, as well as ambient temperature, humidity, and engine speed, the DPF may build up with particulate matter, thus requiring cleaning. Filter cleaning is determined by one of three conditions:

A prescribed time-based estimation of needed filter cleaning

DOC/DPF pressure sensors

A particulate matter buildup estimation based on load conditions

Once one of the three conditions has been met, filter cleaning will occur.

NOTE: Passive filter cleaning requires no operator involvement, and there is no interruption to tractor operation.

Active filter cleaning

If conditions (temperature, load, or speed) for passive filter cleaning cannot be achieved, then PM is removed using active filter cleaner.

To achieve the required conditions, exhaust temperature management (ETM) manages the initiation and duration of active filter cleaning. ETM can adjust numerous engine parameters and/or inject a small quantity of fuel into the exhaust stream for a short duration. The fuel turns to vapor and chemically reacts with the catalysts in the DOC to create heat to oxidize PM.

It is important to note that at no time is the fuel in the DOC/DPF ignited, and there is no flame within the DOC/DPF.

Like passive filter cleaning, active filter cleaning requires no operator involvement, and there is no interruption to tractor operation.

Parked filter cleaning

In some instances where passive and active filter cleaning have not fully cleaned the PM from the system, a parked filter cleaning may need to take place. Most likely, the only time a parked filter cleaning will need to occur is when automatic filter cleaning has been disabled for an extended period of time and multiple warnings to engage filter cleaning were ignored or if the tractor has been used during light load conditions. Additionally, when the automatic filter cleaning process has been deliberately interrupted multiple times, or if active filter cleaning has failed numerous times due to a failed component, a parked filter cleaning may be requested. In these rare instances the operator will have to park the tractor and start the filter cleaning process.

The parked filter cleaning process needs to be activated based on usage and operation of the tractor. The process will take approximately 30 minutes. See operator’s manual for more details.

This system constantly monitors the soot level of the tractor, making sure the tractor is always in peak performance condition. This ensures high performance at all times.

NOTE: Number of hours since last regeneration and soot level percentage viewable on LCD display.

NOTE: In the picture above, you see the bushing set. These bushings allow the hooks on the iMatch and the pins on the implement to fit together properly. All other implements (box blades, tillers, rear blades, etc.) will require a set of bushings to enlarge the pin to fit with the iMatch hooks. Bushings of different lengths can be found in the parts system or through a bushing supplier (see dimensions below).

This information identifies the various tires available for the 4M and 4R Compact Utility Tractors.

The tire tread applications are as follows:

Bar tread (R1) is used in applications where full traction is desired.

Industrial tread (R4) is less aggressive than the R1 tire and designed for industrial applications for landscapers, contractors, rental yards, and roadside mowing.

Turf tread (R3) spreads the tractor's weight over a large area for improved flotation and reduced turf damage.

R3 turf special tires are designed and built for golf course applications. These tires offer the widest footprint possible without going to costly tires and wheels. Made with the most solid-to-void ratio of any golf course tire, the turf special tires give the least weight per square inch. They are built especially flexible and soft with rounded shoulders, so as not to cut the turf. R3 turf special tires are made with the highest-grade, longest-wearing type of rubber compound, which provides the longest life.

NOTES:

Front and rear tread dimensions are finely matched to keep tires from running on the rows and damaging crops. See dimensions information for tread dimensions.

Tire dimensions vary slightly due to manufacturing tolerances.

Tire dimensions increase slightly with tire age.

R3 turf special tires are not compatible with 72-in. mid-mower decks.

Tire chains cannot be used with R1 tires on cab tractors.

On 4WD tractors, the front tires run slightly faster than the rear tires. Front and rear tire options available from the factory will maintain the correct ratio (over speed).

On mechanical front-wheel drive (MFWD) tractors, the front tires run slightly faster than the rear tires. Front and rear tire options available from the factory will maintain the correct ratio (over speed).

Great Features

5/5

I have owned my John Deere 4044r series tractor for two years now and have about 85 hours on it. I use it with a finish mower, box blade, post hole digger, forks and a bucket.
I picked the John Deere for two main reasons:1) Because of the Hitch assist, which makes attaching implements very easy. 2) The ease at which you can remove the front loader. You can do it entirely from the seat/platform and do not have to get off to set a stand.
I "accidently" ended up with the quick connect/disconnect hydraulic connector. I am not sure of the exact name of this, but it has a lever that disconnects all of the hoses, and you can do it from the platform. I highly recommend this feature, as you do not have to get off the tractor to connect and disconnect the front loader and its hoses. The dealer shipped a front end loader from another location and it came with this connector. So, they gave it to me at no additional cost. :)
I love the cruise control also and use it all the time. You can just set your speed and mow away! I have had no issues with my tractor.
The tractor is light and when doing loader work, it needs to have some weight in the back.
Overall, great tractor with great features. The r series tractors are worth the extra cost, if you can afford them.
